Providing student feedback is a responsibility of a nurse educator, and essential to the student learning process. All forms of student feedback should provide students with not only what they may have missed or were incorrect on but should also provide students with their strengths to reinforce the appropriate learning. Feedback needs to be timely and constructive as well. Proper feedback not only shows the student where they were incorrect but should provide them with useful ways to improve in their areas of weakness.
As a nurse educator I will provide
my students with timely, constructive, and useful feedback. I believe that students need to not only
understand what it is that they might have gotten wrong but why and how can
they correct that or how can I lead them to the correct information. Providing rationale behind a concept or a correct
answer to a question and why it is correct and why a certain answer isn’t, for example
in a test, can help the student understand and helps develop critical thinking
skills.
Using feedback to “feed forward”
allows nurse educators to take what the students learned or didn’t learn and
help them develop and improve their instruction of certain material and reteach
or reinforce as necessary.
